Basic Information

If you are looking for a simple, reliable and cost effective way to monitor your home, consider the I/O Linc - INSTEON Telephone Alert Kit. It enhances your INSTEON network by using a phone dialer along with an I/O Linc to immediately notify you and/or neighbors and loved ones via telephone and/or cell phone that there is something happening at your home requiring your attention. Recipients of the automated phone call will hear a user recorded message identifying the concern. By linking an I/O Linc - INSTEON Door / Window Sensor Kit or TriggerLinc- INSTEON Wireless Open/Close Sensor, you can trigger a phone call to be placed if unexpected movement or an unauthorized opening or closing of a door or window takes place.

Any device that transmits an INSTEON signal can be used to trigger the I/O Linc - INSTEON Telephone Alert Kit to call out simply by linking the devices together or, of course, using trigger logic you have defined within Indigo. The phone dialer uses your existing phone line to dial out and requires no monthly monitoring or service fee to operate. Now whether you are at the office, at the store, or on vacation, you can be immediately notified when there is a concern.

More Detail

Record an emergency message of up to 40 seconds in length. When the Phone Dialer has been triggered it will begin its sequence of calls. It will automatically override the phone line for an emergency call, dialing up to nine phone numbers. If the line is busy, the Phone Dialer will redial each number up to nine times, waiting for a user-selectable length of time in between attempts. If a user receives a phone call notification, they can cancel the remaining phone calls by pressing the pound key (#) during the recording.

The automatic dialer supports both tone/pulse dialing and PABX systems and will also function seamlessly on systems that require that an ‘8’ or ‘9’ be dialed for outside line usage. The I/O Linc - INSTEON Telephone Alert Kit will also work with the output of any standard security system. It also works with other Skylink Wireless Sensors as inputs.
